Dream Theater
masturbation to power! technically good, unnecessary in every other respect. among the most overrated of all time. more

Siouxsie and the Banshees
Always fairy-tale-like, both in the dark-punk of their beginnings and in the softer pop of the latter part of their career. more
Medusa's Spite
excellent Roman musicians who create fantastic electrorock.

Depeche Mode
Synth-pop was a fleeting trend, but Depeche Mode have had a decades-long career. There must be a reason for that. more
Premiata Forneria Marconi
The fact that they were Italians is a source of pride for us, but for them, it was half a letdown. more
Zucchero
"Tenor-like version of Sting... Italian Peter Gabriel" for the US. Plagiario for Italy. He has ranged from sublime soul-jazz ("Dune Mosse") to intimate songs ("Diamante", "Un Piccolo Aiuto"), explored the wave-electro paths of Ermetico Battisti ("Eccetera Eccetera"), and UK pop ("Occhi", "Pure Love"), combined Christmas white and rai ("Così Celeste") blues and lyricism ("Miserere"), M.Davis E.Morricone C.Rustici J.Lee-Hooker F.De Gregori I.Fossati C.Mami Bonovox Elisa... a bit "edited". more
The Cure
Joyful periods that alternate cyclically with dark times. For better or for worse, a group that resembles me. more
Genesis
Refined technique and almost limitless melodic inventiveness. The ideal launchpad to take flight towards the planet of classical music. more
Genesis
Music and Magic finally together. more
Premiata Forneria Marconi
Wonderful musicians, truly remarkable. It's a shame they didn't have the aura they deserved. Excellent. more
Paul & Linda McCartney
There’s nothing more to say about Paul. She was a tremendous woman despite a sometimes prominent temper. After her, Paul lost his mind for the worse and the repercussions were evident (Driving rain, Heater Mills, billion-dollar divorce...) There’s only one Linda, Paul. That’s it. more
Zucchero
He started almost from nothing. He reached the top also thanks to excellent collaborations. He dove headfirst into the abyss due to plagiarism and a lack of new ideas. What a shame. more
Paul McCartney
Simply brilliant. more
Paul McCartney
Apollo McCartney. more
Zucchero
If it weren't for the unfortunate fact that it's unclear who the hell writes their songs, my rating would be a solid three and a positive one. In Italy, they definitely sang (at least the beautiful voice is theirs) some great stuff, in defiance of the national Ligabue and Vaschi. more
Zucchero
A question mark made person. He has flown very high ("Blue's," "Oro Incenso & Birra") but also very low ("Zu & Co." and songs like "Un Kilo" or "Donkey Tonkey"). However, when he wants to, he knows how to create beautiful things. more
Mogwai
soporific, mannered, monotonous monotones, guilty of being in the right genre at the right time and generators of countless epigones, raucous and perhaps too much live, and Scottish, which gives interviews that horrible accent and those vocalic sounds of questionable taste.

but when they are liked, they are truly liked; an electric explosion for a stab to the heart. more
Fuck the Facts
One of the few (very few) bands that can still play grindcore and make sense today. Excellent. more
Premiata Forneria Marconi
